This year, BRISTON reinvents its iconic case with a brand-new collection of square watches for men and women.
Inspired by the American Streamline movement of the 1930s, which made modern design its signature, the Streamliner Kennedy collection adopts the codes of Art Deco: geometric shapes, symmetry and subtle contrasts between straight and curved lines.
With its natural elegance and resolutely vintage style, Streamliner Kennedy is a modern reinterpretation of Art Deco. Its refined square case is enhanced by tortoiseshell acetate sides, while the angles of the lugs are designed to ensure perfect visual continuity.
The name Kennedy is a perfect match for this classic, timeless watch. The watch's design evokes a retro yet modern sophistication, just like the style of the Kennedys often associated with preppy, polished elegance. Indeed, John Fitzgerald Kennedy is a symbol of the American preppy movement: a blend of casualness and refinement. JFK was certainly one of the most prominent figures in this style, often cited as one of the most elegant presidents in history, with a predilection for discreet yet sophisticated accessories. The Streamliner Kennedy is the perfect blend of this modernity and heritage, promoting an image of casual and timeless elegance.
Except the chronograph model, each watch in the collection has taken up a real technical challenge: to highlight the acetate while guaranteeing optimum functionality. To achieve this, the crown, positioned at 12 o'clock, is adorned with a lapis lazuli cabochon, adding a touch of sophistication.
The case finish, the result of meticulous design, is a key element of this collection. The tortoiseshell acetate sides feature a mirror-polished finish, and each case is securely fastened with two side screws, ensuring perfect integration of materials.
The new Streamliner Kennedy a new collection for every wrist
Designed for optimum comfort, the Streamliner Kennedy collection offers four distinct models:
A Quartz Chronograph with small seconds (38.5 x 38.5 mm)
An ultra-thin automatic model (36 x 36 mm)
Medium-sized model, suitable for both men's and women's wrists (30 x 30 mm)
Small-format model, a "jewel" watch perfectly suited to the thinnest wrists (25 x 25 mm)
In harmony with the case design, each watch features a sophisticated double-layer dial, available in black or silver-white:
An upper layer with alternative stamped Roman or Arabic numerals, echoing the emblematic dial structure of the Clubmaster Classic.
A "railway" minute track harmoniously linking the lower central part.
A lower central zone, whose depth is highlighted by a refined "guilloche" work.
The new Streamliner Kennedy: high-precision movements
In terms of mechanism, the collection features high-precision movements:
Extra-flat automatic model: Miyota 9039 movement, with blue steel or steel central seconds hand, offering a contemporary version faithful to BRISTON's DNA. The transparent case back reveals the caliber, adorned with an oscillating weight featuring the brand's coat of arms.
Quartz chronograph: equipped with the Miyota JS20 movement, it has a unique feature: the seconds hand at 6 o'clock is activated as soon as the chronograph is triggered.
Medium and small models: powered by the Swiss Ronda 751 caliber, renowned for its reliability and exceptional 7-year autonomy.
Interchangeable straps for infinite customization
Interchangeability is a hallmark of BRISTON. Each case is designed to fit the brand's entire collection of bracelets and straps.
In just a few seconds, you can personalize your watch with single or double-turn straps, in NATO, FKM, leather or steel bracelets, as you wish.
3 sizes of bracelets are available:
20mm lugs for chronograph & automatic models
18mm lugs for the medium model
12mm lugs for the small model.
With the Streamliner Kennedy, BRISTON offers a collection with a timeless design, sublimating Art Deco and watchmaking savoir-faire, while offering infinite customization.
